Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
You should carefully review the information contained in this Annual
Report and in other reports or documents that we file from time to time with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). In this Annual Report, we state
our beliefs of future events and of our future financial performance. In some
cases, you can identify those so-called "forward-looking statements" by words
such as "may," "will," "should," expects," "plans," "anticipates," "believes,"
"estimates," "predicts," "potential," or "continue" or the negative of those
words and other comparable words. You should be aware that those statements are
only our predictions. Actual events or results may differ materially. In
evaluating those statements, you should specifically consider various factors,
including the risks discussed in this Annual Report for the year ended March 31,
2002 and other reports or documents that we file from time to time with the SEC.
Those factors may cause our actual results to differ materially from any of our
forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements attributable to us or
a person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by this
cautionary statement.
Assumptions relating to budgeting, marketing, and other management
decisions are subjective in many respects and thus susceptible to
interpretations and periodic revisions based on actual experience and business
developments, the impact of which may cause us to alter our marketing, capital
expenditure, or other budgets, which may in turn affect our business, financial
position, results of operations, and cash flows.

PART I
Item 1. Business
Introduction
Emtec (OTC: ETEC) is a systems integrator focused on providing
technology solutions that enable our customers to effectively use and manage
their data to grow their businesses. Our areas of specialization in IT services
include remote network monitoring, help desk, network design, enterprise backup
and storage server consolidation, and network security. Emtec's solutions are
crafted to enable our customers to become more efficient and effective, thereby
giving them a competitive advantage.
Named to the VARBusiness 500 list of top network integrators, value
added resellers, and consultants in the U.S. every year since 1995, Emtec
combines extensive experience in systems integration with premier technology
elements to provide its customers with sophisticated, streamlined, truly
comprehensive solutions.
Over the past two decades, Emtec has built strong relationships with
leading manufacturers, such as Cisco, IBM, Microsoft, Sun Microsystems, and
Veritas, thereby enabling us to provide cutting-edge, scalable, reliable and
secure solutions. This, along with our background in information technology,
positions us as a premier, single-source provider of information systems, and
network solutions.
Our customers are primarily Fortune 2000 companies, local and regional
government, and other large and mid-sized companies located principally in the
New York/New Jersey Metropolitan area and the Southeastern United States, with
annual revenues ranging from $50 million to $500 million. We service our
customer base from leased facilities in New Jersey, Connecticut, New York,
Georgia, and Florida.
Historically, the most significant portion of our revenues has been
derived from our activities as a reseller of IT products, such as workstations,
servers, microcomputers, application software and networking and communications
equipment. In the fiscal years ended March 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000,
respectively, such reseller activities accounted, respectively, for 73.01%,
83.73%, and 86.58% of our total revenues. However, we are actively endeavoring
to increase the portion of our revenues that are derived from managed services
(remote network monitoring and our help desk) and IT consulting and professional
services. We anticipate that an increasing percentage of our future revenues
will be derived from such business.
Prior to January 17, 2001, we were engaged in the oil and gas
exploration and development business under the name American Geological
Enterprises, Inc. At that time our principal asset, other than cash, was a 5.49%
working interest in a geothermal power unit. On January 17, 2001, we completed a
merger with Emtec, Inc., a privately held New Jersey corporation ("Emtec-NJ"),
which since 1980 had been engaged in the business of providing IT products and
services to the computer industry. Upon the merger we retained all of our
assets, subject to liabilities, and assumed all of the assets and liabilities of
Emtec-NJ. Although we have retained the lease in the geothermal power unit, we
have not yet decided whether to seek other opportunities in the gas and oil
field.
During the current fiscal year, we discontinued our e-business
services, which had included web self-service application programs and business
relationship management. We discontinued these services because we were
unsuccessful in selling these services to existing and potential customers.
Our executive offices are located at 817 East Gate Drive, Mount Laurel,
New Jersey; telephone: (856) 235-2121. Our website is located at
www.emtecinc.com. The information on our website is not part of this Annual
Report.
Industry Background
The broad market in which we compete is the provision of IT services.
This marketplace consists of traditional IT services such as hardware and
software procurement, life-cycle services, and network consulting, as well as
new and innovative Internet services such as web enablement, remote network
monitoring, help desk services, and information security.
As the market for IT products has matured over the past several years,
price competition has intensified. That factor, combined with abbreviated
product lifecycles, has forced IT product manufacturers to pursue lower cost
manufacturing and distribution strategies. Resellers who were able to serve the
needs of corporate end users requiring diverse brands of products and related IT
services were initial beneficiaries of this heightened competition. More
recently, however, continuing competition and manufacturers' renewed efforts to
improve their cost structure have led to both consolidations and business
failures among resellers. Manufacturers have shifted from exclusive distribution
partners to "open sourcing" and some have begun direct selling efforts with a
view to capturing market share from resellers.
At the same time that the market for IT products is consolidating, the
market for IT services and, in particular, managed services, is expanding. Many
companies have become increasingly dependent on the use of IT as a competitive
tool in today's business environment. The need to distribute and access data on
a real-time basis throughout an organization and between organizations has led
to the rapid growth in network computing infrastructures that connect numerous
and geographically dispersed end users through local and wide area networks.
This growth has been driven by the emergence of industry standard hardware,
software, and communications tools, as well as the significant improvement in
the performance, capacity, and utility of such network-based equipment and
applications.
The decision-making process that confronts companies when planning,
selecting, and implementing IT infrastructure and services continue to grow more
complex. Organizations are continually faced with technology obsolescence and
must design new networks, upgrade, and migrate to new systems. As a result of
the rapid changes in IT products and the risks associated with the commitment of
large capital expenditures for products and services whose features and
perceived benefits are not within the day-to-day expertise of operating
management, many businesses increasingly are outsourcing some or all of their
network management and support functions and are seeking the expertise of
independent providers of IT products and services.
Our Strategy
Our primary business objective is to become a leading single-source
provider of high quality and innovative IT products, services, and support. We
believe that by working with a single-source provider, business organizations
will be able to adapt more quickly to
-2-
technological changes and reduce their overall IT costs. To this end, we are
pursuing the following strategies:
Expand Solution Offerings
In order to make our services more valuable to customers and potential
customers, we acquired an established remote network operations center (NOC) and
help desk in January 2002. Together with our existing project management
offerings, these comprise a set of managed services that enable customers to
more effectively manage their IT infrastructure.
Pursuing Strategic Acquisitions
We will seek to expand our service offerings, to add to or enhance our
base of technical or sales personnel, and to nurture and expand client
relationships by means of acquisitions of companies whose businesses complement
our businesses and, in particular, our IT consulting services. We intend to
focus on companies with management teams that are willing to commit to their
continued long-term participation in our growth.
On January 9, 2002, we acquired substantially all of the assets of
Devise Associates, Inc., an information technology consulting and managed
services organization located in New York City, Devise Associates, Inc., a
subsidiary of McLeodUSA, Inc. (Nasdaq: MCLD).
Capitalizing on Existing Relationships
We have invested in training and committed resources to obtain company
certifications from key industry manufacturers, and have entered into written
agreements with most of these manufacturers, such as Sun, IBM, CISCO, Microsoft,
Novell and Citrix. These agreements grant us a nonexclusive right to purchase
the manufacturer's hardware and license its software for our internal business
use and for commercial integration and resale. Typically, our agreements with
such manufacturers, such as those with Sun, IBM, CISCO, Microsoft, Novell and
Citrix, provide for a one-year term, renewable by the parties for additional
one-year terms and are terminable by either party on prior written notice
ranging from 30 to 45 days. They generally do not contain financial terms for
resale of the manufacturer's products, which terms are separately governed by
purchase orders.
Moreover, we believe that our history of satisfying our larger
customers' IT product requirements will facilitate our efforts to successfully
market our broad range of managed services to this particular segment of our
client base.
Our Business
IT Services
Enterprise Infrastructure Solutions: We offer a full spectrum of IT
product acquisition and support services needed to support client/server
environments including product sourcing, network design & implementation,
technical support, server consolidation, and clustering and load balancing for
high availability.
Managed Services: We manage customers' networks through the utilization
of outsourced help desk and network monitoring services, which allows
organizations to focus the majority of their efforts on their businesses - not
on managing their IT infrastructures.
-3-
Data Management Solutions: We manage customers' business-critical data
through the implementation of storage and backup solutions that enhance the
reliability and performance of their networks.
Network Security Solutions: We assures customers' infrastructure and
data are protected through the implementation of firewall, VPN, remote access
authentication, and virus detection technologies.
Innovation Centers: Among our most important customer resources are the
Innovation Centers established at our Norcross, Georgia and Cranford, New Jersey
locations. These centers give our customers the ability to test the scalability
and suitability of a hardware and software configuration before investing in the
technology. Staffed by high-level certified engineers, the Innovation Centers
can simulate up to a 2,000-user load. The centers are equipped with high-end Sun
Microsystems'TM' servers, Sun Ray'TM' thin clients, Sun'TM' storage arrays, and
NT servers, as well as a wide array of software applications including Lotus
Notes/Domino, IBM's DB2 product family, Oracle, Veritas backup and storage
products.
Lifecycle Management Services: Our lifecycle management services are
designed to provide customers with continuous availability of service and
support throughout the lifecycle of their IT investments, including the full
spectrum of IT product acquisition and support services needed to support server
environments. Our services include:
Evaluation and prioritization of business objectives to determine the
best course of action for our customers;
Consultation with customers to identify the right IT products and
services for their needs;
Leveraging our vendor relationships to quickly source the right
combination of products;
Providing logistical support needed to deploy a major technology roll
out;
Offering assistance to reduce the overall operating cost of maintaining
current technology through a private label lease program; and
Providing continuous support to enable a client to improve end-user
satisfaction, minimize downtime, and lower the total cost of ownership.
Manufacturers Support Services Contracts: We offer manufacturer support
service contracts that provide our clients with extended technical support,
onsite hardware service and access to new software releases at a fixed price.
Most of revenue from this portion of our business comes from selling three
manufacturer's contracts: Sun Microsystems, Cisco, and Veritas
Our IT services activities accounted for approximately 26.72%, 16.24%
and 13.42% of our total revenues for fiscal years 2002, 2001 and 2000,
respectively.
-4-
IT Reseller
IT Reseller: We are an authorized reseller of the products of many
leading IT manufacturers, such as 3Com, CISCO, Compaq, HP, IBM, Intel,
Microsoft, NEC, Veritas, Novell, and Sun. Such products include workstations,
servers, networking and communications equipment, enterprise computing products,
and application software. Our business depends in large part upon our ongoing
access to well established aggregators, in particular GE Access, Ingram Micro,
Inc. and Tech Data Corp. to enable us to acquire IT products at competitive
prices and on reasonable terms for resale to our customers.
Through our alliances with GE Access, Ingram and Tech Data, we provide
our customers with competitive pricing and value-added services such as
electronic product ordering, product configuration, testing, warehousing, and
delivery. Our relationships with our aggregators allow us to minimize inventory
risk by ordering products primarily on an as-needed basis. We believe that in
most cases our ability to acquire products on a cost-plus basis affords us the
opportunity to avail ourselves of prices lower than those that could be obtained
independently from manufacturers or other vendors. We utilize electronic
ordering and pricing systems that provide real-time status checks on the
aggregators' inventories and maintain electronic data interchange links to other
suppliers, thereby enabling our sales team to schedule shipments more accurately
and to provide electronically-generated client price lists.
In particular, we rely upon products manufactured and support services
provided by Sun, which accounted for 35%, 42% and 31% of our total revenues for
fiscal years 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
We have not entered into any long-term supply contracts with any of our
suppliers, as we purchase computers, computer systems, components, and parts on
a purchase order basis. Our agreements with GE Access, Ingram and Tech Data, who
collectively supplied approximately 79%, 80% and 43% of our resale products in
the fiscal years 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively, may be terminated by such
companies at any time upon 30 days' prior written notice.
We may receive manufacturer rebates resulting from equipment sales. In
addition, we receive volume discounts and other incentives from various
suppliers. Except for products in transit or products awaiting configuration at
our facility, we generally do not maintain large inventory balances. Our primary
vendors limit price protection to that provided by the manufacturer (generally
less than 30 days) and they restrict product returns, other than defective
returns, to a percentage (the percentage varies depending on the vendor and when
the return is made) of products purchased. Those returns must occur during a
defined period, at the lower of the invoiced price or the current price, subject
to the specific manufacturer's requirements and restrictions.
Our IT reseller activities accounted for approximately 73.01%, 83.73%
and 86.58% of our total revenues for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2002, 2001
and 2000, respectively.
Other Services
K-12 Specialized Services for Student and Faculty Needs: We integrate
top-quality curriculum software and computer products into the classroom. We
have significant experience in building local area networks that link many
campuses together. We also provide district-wide
-5-
support and sustain Internet access to educational resources worldwide. We
tailor our array of services to make the best use of limited funds.
Marketing
Our marketing efforts are focused on:
Broadening our public image as a Managed Services and IT service
provider;
Promoting our new Managed Services offerings to current customers,
prospects, partners, and investors;
Maintaining a constant flow of marketing communications to increase and
maintain our market presence;
Driving prospects to our web site; and
Increasing overall inquiries and sales from all sources.
Our business development center is charged with sales lead generation.
We have developed a computer-based process by which a series of letters or
e-mails are sent to a prospective customer to provide initial information about
us before a sales call is made. The system executes strategies automatically and
prompts the sales representative when action is required. Because its
fundamental concept is to create multiple and frequent "touches" of the prospect
through letters, faxes, e-mails, and phone calls, multiple and frequent contacts
of prospective customers will be the basis of our marketing efforts. This
process will be supplemented with seminars and consulting- and services-oriented
direct mail.
We have developed two proprietary software programs that tracks the
success of a number of our sales and marketing programs. One software package
manages the business development center process, while the other tracks the
progress of sales engagements ensuring that the correct process is followed. We
have discontinued using sales engagement software package. The business
development center software packaged is still utilized as a part of our
marketing strategy, and is also marketed to our customers as well.
Customers
Our targeted customer base is companies with sales revenues of between
$50 and $500 million. Although we have approximately 150 customers, our two
largest customers, Gwinnett County School System (Georgia) and Tiffany &
Company, accounted, respectively, for approximately 13.85% and 9.32% of our
revenues for the year ended March 31, 2002. These same two customers accounted
for, respectively, approximately 10.23% and 6.64% of our revenues in fiscal year
2001 and for approximately 16.88% and 5.13% of our revenues in fiscal year 2000.
An additional eight customers, ING Financial Services Co., BellSouth
Corporation, Educational Testing Services, Mirant, Bally's Park Place Casinos,
Novo Nordisk, Cox Communications, and MBNA American Bank, collectively accounted
for 31.47%, 30.75% and 32.61% of our revenues for the years ended March 31,
2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
-6-
Intellectual Property
We rely upon a combination of nondisclosure and other contractual
arrangements and trade secret, copyright, and trademark laws to protect our
proprietary rights and the proprietary rights of third parties from whom we
license intellectual property. We enter into confidentiality agreements with our
employees and limit distribution of proprietary information.
Our business also includes the development of custom software
applications in connection with specific client engagements. Ownership of such
software is generally assigned to our client.
Competition
The IT services industry is highly competitive. Our competitors
include:
established computer product manufacturers (some of which supply
products to us);
distributors;
computer resellers;
systems integrators; and
other IT service providers.
Many computer product manufacturers also sell to customers through
their direct sales organizations and certain of them have announced their
intention to enhance such direct sales efforts. Many of our current and
potential competitors have longer operating histories and financial, sales,
marketing, technical, and other resources substantially greater than we do. As a
result, our competitors may be able to adapt more quickly to changes in client
needs or to devote greater resources than we can to the sales of IT products and
the provision of IT services. Such competitors could also attempt to increase
their presence in our markets by forming strategic alliances with our other
competitors or with our customers, offering new or improved products and
services to our customers or increasing their efforts to gain and retain market
share through competitive pricing. We have no ongoing written commitments by
customers to purchase products, and all product sales are made on a
purchase-order basis.
We are also in direct competition with local, regional, and national
distributors of microcomputer products and related services as well as with
various IT consulting companies. These run the gamut from new dot com consulting
companies to the established consulting arms of nationwide accounting and
auditing firms. Several of these competitors offer most of the same basic
products as we do. We also encounter competition from microcomputer suppliers
that sell their products through direct sales forces, rather than through
resellers such as ourselves, and from manufacturers and distributors that
emphasize mail order and telemarketing sales techniques.
The tri-state metropolitan Connecticut, New Jersey, and New York area
and parts of New England, which, on a revenue basis, accounted for 58.3%, 67.7%,
and 53.2% of our revenues
-7-
during the fiscal years 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively, are particularly
characterized by highly discounted pricing on microcomputer products from
various sources.
Depending on the customer, the principal areas of competition may
include price, pre-sale and post-sale technical support and service,
availability of inventory, and breadth of product line. We have an insignificant
market share of sales in the microcomputer industry and the service markets that
we serve. Most of our competitors at the regional and national levels are
substantially larger, have more personnel, have materially greater financial and
marketing resources, and operate within a larger geographic area than we do.
Employees
As of June 28, 2002, we employed 166 individuals, including 39 sales,
marketing and related support personnel, 94 service and support employees, 21
operations and administration personnel, and 12 employees in accounting,
finance, and human resources. We believe that our ability to recruit and retain
highly skilled technical and other management personnel will be critical to our
ability to execute our business model and growth strategy. None of our employees
are represented by a labor union or are subject to a collective bargaining
agreement. We believe that our relations with our employees are good.
Item 2. Properties
We lease office space in seven locations. Our corporate headquarters
and principal operational facilities are currently located in Mount Laurel, New
Jersey. The following table contains certain information about each of our

Item 3. Legal Proceedings
In 1999 we instituted an action against Dan. F. Williamson & Co. Inc.,
one of our customers, in the Court of Common Pleas, Greenville County, South
Carolina, for breach of contract in an amount approximating $50,000. The
defendant counterclaimed for damages in excess of $8.0 million, alleging that
our negligence corrupted its computer system. In October 2001, we settled this
litigation by agreeing to restore defendant's computer discs, which restoration
was completed in March 2002.
In March 2002, Logical Business Solutions, Inc., one of our
competitors, instituted an action in the Circuit Court, Fourth Judicial Circuit,
in Duval County, Florida, against us and Cheryl Pullen, one of our employees,
alleging that we wrongfully interfered with its contractual relationship with
one of its customers. The amount of damages was not specified. The litigation is
currently in the discovery stage. We intend to vigorously defend against the
claim.

Critical Accounting Policies
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenues based upon Staff Accounting Bulletin
#101 (SAB 101). SAB 101 states that revenue recognition cannot occur until the
earnings process is complete(evidenced), by an agreement between the company and
the customer, there has been delivery and acceptance, collectibility is
probable, and pricing is fixed and determinable. If significant obligations
remain after delivery, revenue is deferred until such obligations are fulfilled.
We had followed these principles of revenue recognition prior to the
implementation of SAB 101. Therefore, SAB 101 has had no impact on revenue
reporting. Procurement services represent sales of computer hardware and
prepackaged software. Revenue from consulting and support service contracts are
recognized ratably over the contract or service period. Revenues from
manufacturer support service contracts where the manufacturer is responsible for
fulfilling the service requirements of the customer are recognized immediately
at their contract date.
Trade Receivables
The Company provides an allowance for losses on trade receivables based
on a review of the current status of existing receivables and management's
evaluation of periodic aging of the accounts.
-11-
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or
market. Cost is based on standard costs generated principally by the most recent
purchase prices. The Company provides an inventory reserve for obsolescence and
deterioration based on management's review of products and sales.
Valuation of Long Lived Assets
The Company evaluates its long-lived assets as prescribed by Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 (SFAS No. 121) by measuring the
carrying amount of the assets against the estimated undiscounted future cash
flows associated with them. If such evaluations indicate that the future
undiscounted cash flows of certain long-lived assets are not sufficient to
recover the carrying value of such assets, the assets are adjusted to their fair
values.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under an asset and liability approach
that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the
expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the
Company's financial statements or tax returns. In estimating future tax
consequences, the Company generally considers all expected future events other
than the enactment of changes in tax laws or rates. A valuation allowance is
recognized if, on weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that
some portion or all the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
Results of Operations
Comparison of Years Ended March 31, 2002 and 2001
Total Revenues
Total revenues for the IT business decreased by 25.01% or $23.15
million, to $69.41 million for the year ended March 31, 2002, compared to $92.57
million for the year ended March 31, 2001. This decrease is mainly due to the
slow-down in the economy. Services and consulting revenue increased by 23.72%,
or $3.56 million, to $18.60 million for the year ended March 31, 2002 compared
to $15.03 million for the year ended March 31, 2001. This increase is mainly
attributable to an increase in our manufacturers support services contracts
revenues. Manufacturers support services contracts revenue increased by 62.25%,
or $3.16 million, to $8.24 million for the year ended March 31, 2002 compared to
$5.08 million for the year ended March 31, 2001. Product procurement revenues
decreased by 34.46%, or $26.72 million, to $50.81 million for the year ended
March 31, 2002. This decline in product procurement revenue is also mainly due
to the slow-down in the economy. In addition, some of our customers choosing to
procure their IT products directly from manufacturers and our continued focus on
growing our IT consulting and professional services have had a negative impact
on product revenues.
Geothermal Revenues of $187,978 for the year ended March 31, 2002 are
consistent with the previous year's revenues.
-12-
Gross Profit
Our aggregate gross profit for IT business declined by 9.18%, or $1.00
million, to $9.94 million for the year ended March 31, 2002. This decrease is
mainly attributable to 25.01% decrease in our IT revenue due to the slow-down in
the economy. Measured as a percentage of net sales, our overall gross profit
margin increased to 14.32% of net sales for the year ended March 31, 2002 from
11.83% for the year ended March 31, 2001. This increase is mainly due to a
23.72%, or $3.56 million increase in our services and consulting revenues.
Gross profit for product sales declined by 26.79%, or $2.19 million,
to $5.98 million for the year ended March 31, 2002 as compared with $8.17
million for the year ended March 31, 2001. This decrease is mainly attributable
to a 34.46% decrease in product revenue. Measured as a percentage of net product
sales, our gross profit margin attributable to product sales increased to 11.77%
for the year ended March 31, 2002 from 10.54% for the year ended March 31, 2001.
Gross profit for service and consulting increased by 42.57%, or $1.18
million, to $3.96 million for the year ended March 31, 2002 as compared with
$2.78 million for the year ended March 31, 2001. This increase is mainly
attributable to higher utilization rates for our engineers as well as an
increase in the gross margin manufacturers support services contracts.
Manufacturers support services contracts gross margin increased by 77.76%, or
$748,000, to $1.71 million for the year ended March 31, 2002 as compared with
$962,000 for the year ended March 31, 2001. Also, measured as a percentage of
our gross margin attributable to services and consulting revenue increased to
21.30% of services and consulting revenue for the year ended March 31, 2002 from
18.48% for the year ended March 31, 2001.
The geothermal gross profit of $124,895 for the year ended March 31,
2002 is consistent with the gross profit for comparable previous periods.
Sales, General, and Administrative Expenses
Sales, general, and administrative expenses decreased by 12.16%, or
$1.24 million, to $8.99 million for the year ended March 31, 2002. This decrease
is primarily a result of lower sales commission expenses due to decline in the
aggregate gross margin from IT business, termination of the management bonus
plan beginning January 2001, and lower bad-debt expense due to improved accounts
receivable collection performance.
e-Business Costs
e-Business costs for the year ended March 31, 2002 was $617,220, or
6.27% of total operating expenses, as compared with $1.30 million, or 10.58% of
total operating expenses for the year ended March 31, 2001. As of January 2002
we have discontinued our e-Business division that we started in January 2000.
This cost mainly included the building of a sales and consulting team of
approximately 8 employees, including training, certifying, marketing, and
advertising expenses.
Other Income (Expense)
Total other income (expense) for the year ended March 31, 2002 equaled
to $0, as compared to $24,108 for the year ended March 31, 2001. This relates
primarily to legal settlement income, net of costs, as well as a loss from the
disposition of marketable securities.
-13-
Legal settlement income net of cost is $170,993. This includes approximately
$355,000 in cash and marketable securities worth $176,000, less legal and other
operating expenses equal to approximately $355,000. Loss from the disposition of
marketable securities received in legal settlement equaled $146,885.
Income Taxes
Income tax expense of $ 5,632 was recorded for the year ended March 31,
2002. This amount included a deferred tax expense of $ 13,693 netted against a
current income tax benefit of $ 8,061. An income tax benefit of $ 75,029 was
recorded for the year ended March 31, 2001. This amount included a deferred tax
benefit of $ 86,765 netted against a current income tax expense of $ 11,736. The
$ 75,029 income tax benefit amount was allocated as a $ 73,059 benefit from
continuing operations and a $ 1,970 benefit from discontinued operations. A
valuation allowance of 90% of the amount of deferred tax assets was recorded at
March 31, 2002 and 2001.
Loss from Discontinued Operations
Loss from discontinued South Carolina operations, net of income taxes,
for the year ended March 31, 2001 equaled $63,649. The loss from discontinued
operations for the year ended March 31, 2001 was primarily due to lease
payments, contracted advertising expenses, and additional reserve for bad debt.
Comparison of Years Ended March 31, 2001 and 2000
Total Revenues
Total revenues for the IT business decreased by 8.12%, or $8.18
million, to $92.55 million for the year ended March 31, 2001. Product
procurement revenues decreased by 11.12%, or $9.70 million, to $77.53 million
for the year ended March 31, 2001. This decline in product procurement revenue
is mainly due to our continued focus on our services and consulting
organization. Services and consulting revenue increased by 11.23%, or $1.52
million, to $15.03 million for the year ended March 31, 2001 compared to $13.51
million for the year ended March 31, 2000. This increase is mainly attributable
to increase in our manufacturers services support contract revenues.
Manufacturers services support contract revenues increased by 112.33%, or $2.68
million, to $5.08 million for the year ended March 31, 2001 compared to $2.39
million for the year ended March 31, 2000.
Geothermal Revenues of $34,366 from the date of the merger are
consistent with the previous period's revenues for a comparable period.
Gross Profit
Our aggregate gross profit for IT procurement declined by 13.41%, or
$1.69 million, to $10.95 million for the year ended March 31, 2001. Measured as
a percentage of net sales, our overall gross profit margin also decreased to
11.83% of net sales for the year ended March 31, 2001 from 12.55% for the year
ended March 31, 2000. Due to continued downward pricing pressure on product
sales, gross profit margin attributable to product sales decreased to 10.54% for
the year ended March 31, 2001 from 10.68% for the year ended March 31, 2000. We
expect
-14-
that downward pricing pressure on products will persist due to the
continued commoditization of computer products.
Gross margin attributable to services and consulting revenue decreased
to 18.48% of services and consulting revenue for the year ended March 31, 2001
from 24.62% for the year ended March 31, 2000. We believe this decline was due
primarily to lower utilization rates and the lack of Y2K revenue during the year
ended March 31, 2001.
The geothermal gross profit of $24,102 from the date of the merger is
consistent with the revenues for comparable previous periods.
Sales, General, and Administrative Expenses
Sales, general, and administrative expenses decreased by 5.9%, or
$650,245, to $10.24 million for the year ended March 31, 2001. This decrease is
primarily a result of lower sales commission expenses as well as our efforts to
streamline many of our operational functions.
e-Business Costs
e-Business costs for the year ended March 31, 2001 was $1.30 million,
or 10.58% of total operating expenses. We started our e-Business division in
January 2000. This cost mainly includes the building of a sales and consulting
team of approximately 13 employees, including training, certifying, marketing,
and advertising expenses.
Other Income (Expense)
Total other income (expense) for the year ended March 31, 2001 of
$24,108 relates primarily to legal settlement income, net of costs, as well as a
loss from the disposition of marketable securities. Legal settlement income net
of cost is $170,993. This includes approximately $355,000 in cash and marketable
securities worth $176,000, less legal and other operating expenses equal to
approximately $355,000. Loss from the disposition of marketable securities
received in legal settlement equals $146,885.
Income Taxes
All income tax benefit of $75,029 was recorded for the year ended March
31, 2001. This amount included a deferred tax benefit of $86,765 netted against
a current income tax expense of $11,736. The $75,029 income tax benefit amount
was allocated as a $73,059 benefit from continuing operations and a $1,970
benefit from discontinued operations. A net current income tax benefit of
$64,311 was recorded for the year ended March 31, 2000. This amount was
allocated as a $326,318 expense charged to income from continuing operations and
a $390,629 benefit reducing the loss from discontinued operations. Valuation
allowances of 90% and 100% of the book value of deferred tax assets were
recorded at March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
Loss from Discontinued Operations
Loss from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, for the year
ended March 31, 2001 equaled $63,649, as compared to $618,030 for the year ended
March 31, 2000. The loss from discontinued operations for the year ended March
31, 2001 was primarily due to lease payments, contracted advertising expenses,
and additional reserve for bad debt.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 101 "Revenue Recognition in Financial
Statements." This SAB summarizes certain of the SEC staff's views in applying
generally accepted accounting principles to revenue recognition in financial
statements. Adoption of SAB No. 101 did not have a material effect on the
Company's results of operations.
In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 141, "Business
Combinations," which supersedes Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No.
16. SFAS No. 141 requires all business combinations initiated after June 30,
2001 be accounted for under the purchase method. In addition, SFAS No. 141
establishes criteria for the recognition of intangible assets separately from
goodwill. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 141 will have a
material effect on the Company's results of operations, financial position or
cash flow.
Also in July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets," which supersedes APB Opinion No. 17. Under SFAS No. 142
goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets will no longer be amortized, but
rather will be tested for impairment at least annually. In addition, the
amortization period of intangible assets with finite lives will no longer be
limited to 40 years. SFAS No. 142 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2001, which for the Company means the standard will be adopted on
April 1, 2002. The Company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS No. 142 on
its results of operations.
The FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," in August 2001. SFAS No. 144, which addresses
financial accounting and reporting for the impairment of long-lived assets and
for long-lived assets to be disposed of, supercedes SFAS No. 121 and is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The Company has
adopted SFAS No. 144 effective at April 1, 2002 and is currently evaluating the
impact the adoption of the new accounting standards will have on its financial
condition and results of operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2002 of $1,552,666 decreased by
$545,532, from $2,098,198 at March 31, 2001. We are a net borrower;
consequently, we believe our cash and cash equivalents balance must be viewed
along with available balance on our line of credit.
Since our inception, we have funded our operations primarily from
borrowings under our credit facility. On November 21, 2001, we entered into a
$10.0 million revolving credit facility with Fleet Capital Corporation, formerly
Summit Business Capital Corporation ("Fleet"). We simultaneously terminated our
prior financing agreement with IBM Credit Corporation ("IBM") by paying IBM an
aggregate of $2,270,636. Interest on outstanding loans under our revolving
credit facility with Fleet is charged monthly at a fluctuating rate per annum
equal to 0.25% above the Prime Rate and, at our option, interest on up to 50% of
the outstanding loans may be charged at LIBOR plus 2.75%. Our Fleet revolving
credit facility is collateralized by a lien upon and security interest in
substantially all of our assets. As our current credit facilities with two of
our primary trade vendors, GE Access, and Ingram Micro, were also collateralized
by substantially all of our assets, we, Fleet, GE Access and Ingram Micro, have
entered into intercreditor agreements, which provide that as regards to these
vendors, our obligations to Fleet are accorded priority. On November 21, 2001,
we also entered into a Wholesale Financing Security
-16-
Agreement with IBM. This credit facility, which is collateralized by a $750,000
letter of credit from Fleet in favor of IBM, affords us up to a like amount of
credit to purchase IBM products. On January 9, 2002, Fleet has also issued
$250,000 letter of credit in favor of Vandergrand Properties Co., L.P., our
landlord for New York City office as a security deposit for the building lease.
At March 31, 2001, we had no outstanding balance under the credit facility and
the unused line of credit available is $9.0 million with Fleet.
Our lending agreement with Fleet contains financial covenants that
require us to maintain a minimum leverage ratio, minimum debt service coverage
ratio, minimum tangible net worth, and prohibits quarterly losses of more than
$150,000. As of March 31, 2002, the Company was not in compliance with tangible
net worth ratio, and the net profit(loss) requirement. Fleet has verbally
waived such non-compliance for fiscal year ended March 31, 2002 and is
finalizing covenants for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2003.
At March 31, our credit facilities with our primary trade vendors, GE
Access, Ingram Micro, and Tech Data were as follows: 1) Credit Line with GE
Access was $4.5 million, no interest charged, and an outstanding balance of
$3.26 million. 2) Credit line with Ingram Micro was $800,000, at an 18% APR
interest rate and an outstanding balance of $679,002. 3) Credit line with Tech
Data was $1.5 million, no interest charged and an outstanding balance of
$842,399. Under these credit lines we are obligated to pay each invoice within
30 days from the date of such invoice.
Capital expenditures of $294,843 and $372,834 during the years ended
March 31, 2002 and March 31, 2001, respectively, were primarily for the purchase
of computer equipment for internal use, as well as $162,000 of property and
equipment, which were acquired in our acquisition of Devise Associates, Inc. on
January 9, 2002. We anticipate our capital expenditures for fiscal year ending
March 31, 2003 will be approximately $400,000.
The Company has no arrangements or other relationships with
unconsolidated entities or other persons that are reasonably likely to
materially affect liquidity or the availability of or requirements for capital
resources.
We believe that our available funds, together with existing and
anticipated credit facilities, will be adequate to satisfy our current and
planned operations for at least the next 12 months.
Risk Factors
We cannot assure you that we can successfully increase the portion of
our revenues derived from IT services. If we are unsuccessful our future results
may be adversely affected.
Our transition from an emphasis on reselling IT products to an emphasis
on providing IT services has placed significant demands on our managerial,
administrative, and operational resources. Our ability to manage this transition
effectively is dependent upon our ability to develop and improve operational,
financial, and other internal systems, as well as our business development
capabilities, and to attract, train, retain, motivate, and manage our employees.
If we are unable to do so, our ability to effectively deliver and support our
services may be adversely affected. Further, our transitional efforts to access
higher-margin services and consulting revenues have resulted in reduced IT
product sales. If we successfully expand our IT
-17-
services offerings, periods of variability in utilization may continue to occur.
In addition, we are likely to incur greater technical training costs during such
periods. Historically, our IT reseller activities accounted for 73.01%, or
$50.81 million, of our total revenue of $69.60 million for the fiscal year ended
March 31, 2002, 83.73%, or $77.53 million, of our total revenue of $92.6 million
for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2001, and 86.58%, or $87.23 million, of our
total revenue of $100.75 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2000. In
contrast, our IT services activities accounted for approximately 26.72%, or
$18.60 million, 16.24%, or $15.03 million, and 13.42%, or $13.52 million, of our
total revenue for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000,
respectively
Our new services have not achieved widespread client acceptance. If
they do not achieve market acceptance, our profit potential may be adversely
affected.
While we have offered IT services to our customers since 1983, our
major emphasis on IT consulting and services began in 1995 and we started
focusing on our new managed services and network security during the fiscal year
2002.
We have limited experience in developing, marketing, or providing these
services. We cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully market such
services to either new or existing customers, that our services will achieve
market acceptance, or that we will be able to effectively hire, integrate, and
manage additional technical personnel to enable us to perform these services to
our customers' expectations.
Currently our recurring managed services revenues equal approximately
$18,000 a month.
Our inability to maintain high personnel utilization rates may
adversely impact our profit potentiality.
The most significant cost relating to the services component of our
business is personnel expense, which consists of salaries, benefits, and payroll
related expenses. Thus, the financial performance of our service business is
based primarily upon billing margins (billable hourly rates less the costs to us
of service personnel on an hourly basis) and utilization rates (billable hours
divided by paid hours). The future success of the services component of our
business will depend in large part upon our ability to maintain high utilization
rates at profitable billing margins. The competition for quality technical
personnel has continued to intensify, resulting in increased personnel costs.
This intense competition has caused our billing margins to be lower than they
might otherwise have been. Our utilization rates for service personnel likely
will also be adversely affected during periods of rapid and concentrated hiring.
Our revenues and expenses are unpredictable. A decrease in revenues or
increase in expenses could materially adversely affect our operating results.
Our operating results have been, and will continue to be, impacted by
changes in technical personnel billing and utilization rates. Moreover, we
expect that downward pricing pressure on certain of our products will persist
due to the continued commoditization of computer products. These products
include computer equipment such as desktops, laptops, printers and monitors
which currently comprise approximately 40% of our total product sales.
-18-
Our operating results have been, and will continue to be, impacted by
changes in technical personnel billing and utilization rates. Further, there are
numerous other factors, which are not within our control that can contribute to
fluctuations in our operating results, including the following:
patterns of capital spending by customers;
the timing, size, and mix of product and service orders and deliveries;
the timing and size of new projects, including projects for new
customers; and
changes in trends affecting outsourcing of IT services;
We also believe that, to a limited degree, our business is seasonal
with a greater proportion of our product sales occurring in the second and
third quarter of our fiscal year due to the capital budgeting and spending
patterns of some of our larger customers. Operating results have been, and
may in the future also be, affected by the cost, timing, and other effects of
acquisitions, including the mix of product and service revenues of acquired
companies.
Since our inception, we have funded our operations primarily from
borrowings under our credit facility. We are currently in default under our
credit facility, which could result in a demand for immediate repayment. Revised
terms of our indebtedness could materially limit our financial and operating
flexibility.
Our lending agreement with Fleet contains financial covenants that
require us to maintain a minimum leverage ratio, minimum debt service coverage
ratio, minimum tangible net worth, and prohibits quarterly losses of more than
$150,000. As of March 31, 2002, the Company was not in compliance with tangible
net worth ratio, and the net profit(loss) requirement. Fleet has verbally waived
such non-compliance. We cannot state with any certainty the terms upon which
Fleet will waive such non-compliance.
We do not have long-term commitments from any of our customers and our
product sales are on a purchase order basis. Our revenues are concentrated and a
loss of either one of our two top customers could materially affect our
operations and business.
In general, there are no ongoing written commitments by customers to
purchase products from us. All product sales we make are on a purchase order
basis. Moreover, our client base is highly concentrated, with our two largest
customers, Gwinnett County School System (Georgia) and Tiffany & Company,
accounted, respectively, for approximately 13.85% and 9.32% of our revenues for
the year ended March 31, 2002. These same two customers accounted for,
respectively, approximately 10.23% and 6.64% of our revenues in fiscal year 2001
and for approximately 16.88% and 5.13% of our revenues in fiscal year 2000. An
additional eight customers, ING Financial Services Co., BellSouth Corporation,
Educational Testing Services, Mirant, Bally's Park Place Casinos, Novo Nordisk,
Cox Communications, and MBNA American Bank, collectively accounted for 31.47%,
30.75% and 32.61% of our revenues for the years ended March 31, 2002, 2001 and
2000, respectively. We anticipate that a substantial portion of our net revenues
and gross profits will continue to be derived from sales to a concentrated group
of customers. A loss of any of these customers, or a material decrease in the
value of the purchase orders from any other them could materially affect our
profitability.
-19-
Further, most of our customers are located in area comprising the
tri-state metropolitan area of Connecticut, New Jersey, and New York and parts
of New England. Total revenue derived from in this area amounted to 58.3%,
67.7%, and 53.2% of our revenues during the fiscal years 2002, 2001 and 2000,
respectively. Adverse economic conditions affecting this region could have an
adverse effect on the financial condition of our customers located there, which,
in turn, could adversely impact our business and future growth.
We may not be able to compete effectively in the highly competitive IT
services industry.
The IT services business is highly competitive. Our competitors
include:
established computer product manufacturers, some of which supply
products to us;
distributors;
computer resellers;
systems integrators; and
other IT service providers.
Many computer product manufacturers also sell to customers through
their direct sales organizations and certain of them have announced their
intentions to enhance such direct sales efforts. Many of our current and
potential competitors have longer operating histories and financial, sales,
marketing, technical, and other resources substantially greater than we do. As a
result, our competitors may be able to adapt more quickly to changes in client
needs or to devote greater resources than we can to the sales of IT products and
the provision of IT services and we may not have the resources to compete
effectively.
We must maintain our status as an authorized reseller/service of IT
products. The loss on any one of such authorizations could have a material
adverse effect on our business and operations.
We are materially dependent on our continued status as an approved
reseller of IT products and our continued authorization as an IT service
provider. Without such authorizations, we would be unable to provide the range
of products and services we currently offer, including warranty services, and
manufacturers support services contracts. Our resale agreements with
manufacturers generally are terminable by manufacturers upon 30 days' prior
written notice. The loss of one or more of such authorizations could have a
material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. In
particular, we rely upon products manufactured and support services provided by
Sun, which accounted for 35%, 42% and 31% of our of our total revenues for the
fiscal years 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
We have no long-term sales commitments from any of our suppliers. A
loss of any of our three principal suppliers would material adversely affect our
IT reseller business.
Our IT reseller business depends on large part upon our access to
aggregators, in particular GE Access, Ingram and Tech Data, to supply us with
products at competitive prices and on reasonable terms for resale by us to our
customers. Our agreements with Ingram and
-20-
Tech Data may be terminated by such companies upon 30 days prior written notice.
Our agreement with GE Access is effective until February 28, 2003. After
February 28, 2003, our agreement with GE Access can be renewed or terminated by
either party. We cannot assure you that we will be able to continue to obtain
products from GE Access, Ingram and Tech Data or our other vendors at prices or
on terms acceptable to us, if at all.
Our client engagements entail significant risks; a failure to meet a
client's expectations could materially adversely affect our reputation and
business.
Many of our engagements involve projects that are critical to the
operations of our customers' businesses and provide benefits that may be
difficult to quantify. Our failure or inability to meet a client's expectations
in the performance of our services could result in a material adverse change to
the client's operations and therefore could give rise to claims against us or
damage our reputation, adversely affecting our business, results of operations,
and financial condition.
Our ability to protect our intellectual property rights is
questionable. If we are unable to protect such rights, our financial condition
could be materially adversely affected.
We rely upon a combination of nondisclosure and other contractual
arrangements and trade secret, copyright, and trademark laws to protect our
proprietary rights and the proprietary rights of third parties from whom we
license intellectual property. We enter into confidentiality agreements with our
employees and limit distribution of proprietary information. However, we cannot
assure you that the steps taken by us in this regard will be adequate to deter
misappropriation of proprietary information or that we will be able to detect
unauthorized use and take appropriate steps to enforce our intellectual property
rights. We are subject to the risk of litigation alleging infringement of
third-party intellectual property rights. Any such claims could require us to
spend significant sums in litigation, pay damages, develop non-infringing
intellectual property, or acquire licenses to the intellectual property that is
the subject of the alleged infringement. Our inability or failure to establish
rights or to protect our rights may have a material adverse effect on our
business, results of operations, and financial condition.
We intend to expand our business through acquisitions of complementary
businesses. There is no certainty, however, that we will be successful in
acquiring any new businesses or that any such acquisitions will help us achieve
our strategic objectives.
As a part of our business development strategy, we intend to pursue
acquisitions of IT product and service businesses in order to expand our service
offerings, to add to or enhance our base of technical or sales personnel, or to
provide desirable client relationships. The success of this strategy depends not
only upon our ability to acquire complementary businesses on a cost-effective
basis, but also upon our ability to integrate acquired operations into our
organization effectively, to retain and motivate key personnel, and to retain
customers of acquired firms. We cannot assure you that we will be able to
acquire or integrate such businesses successfully. Furthermore, we cannot assure
you that financing for any such acquisitions will be available on satisfactory
terms, or that we will be able to accomplish our strategic objectives as a
result of any such transaction or transactions. In addition, we expect to
compete for attractive acquisition candidates with other companies or investors
in the IT industry, which could have the effect of increasing the cost of
pursuing our acquisition strategy, or it could reduce the number of
-21-
attractive candidates to be acquired. Acquisitions also may involve a number of
specific risks, including:
possible adverse short-term effects on our operating results;
dependence on retaining key customers and personnel;
diversion of management's attention;
amortization of acquired intangible assets; and
risks associated with unanticipated problems, liabilities, or
contingencies.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Information About Market Risk
We do not engage in trading market risk sensitive instruments and do
not purchase hedging instruments or "other than trading" instruments that are
likely to expose us to market risk, whether interest rate, foreign currency
exchange, commodity price or equity price risk. We have issued no debt
instruments, entered into no forward or future contracts, purchased no options
and entered into no swaps. Our primary market risk exposures are those of
interest rate fluctuations. A change in interest rates would affect the rate at
which we could borrow funds under our revolving credit facility. Our average
balance on the line of credit for the past two years has been approximately
$4.10 million. Assuming no material increase or decrease in such balance, a one
percent change in the interest rate would change our interest expense by
approximately $41,000 annually.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Emtec, Inc.
817 Eastgate Drive
Mount Laurel, NJ 08054
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Emtec,
Inc. as of March 31, 2002 and 2001 and the related consolidated statements of
operations, shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended March 31, 2002. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Emtec, Inc.
at March 31, 2002 and 2001, and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2002 in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED MARCH 31, 2002 AND 2001
1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization
Emtec (OTC: ETEC) is a systems integrator focused on providing
technology solutions that enable our customers to effectively use and
manage their data to grow their businesses. Our areas of specialization
in IT services include remote network monitoring, help desk, network
design, enterprise backup and storage server consolidation, and network
security. Emtec's solutions are crafted to enable our customers to
become more efficient and effective, thereby giving them a competitive
advantage. Our customers are primarily fortune 2000 and other large and
mid-sized companies located principally in the New York/New Jersey
Metropolitan area and the Southeastern United States, with annual
revenues ranging from $50 million to $500 million. We service our
customer base from leased facilities in New Jersey, Connecticut, New
York, Georgia, and Florida.
The Company, was formed on April 1, 1995, as a result of the 1995 and
1996 mergers of three information technology companies that were
originally founded between 1980 and 1983.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the issuer
and its wholly owned subsidiary as described in Note 2 (Acquisitions).
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those
estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenues based upon Staff Accounting Bulletin
#101 (SAB 101). SAB 101 states that revenue recognition cannot occur
until the earnings process is complete, evidenced by an agreement
between the Company and the customer, there has been delivery and
acceptance, collectibility is probable, and pricing is fixed and
determinable. If significant obligations remain after delivery, revenue
is deferred until such obligations are fulfilled. The Company had
followed these principles of revenue recognition prior to the
implementation of SAB 101. Therefore, SAB 101 has had no impact on
revenue reporting. Procurement services represent sales of computer
hardware and prepackaged software. Revenue from consulting and support
service contracts are recognized ratably over the contract or service
period. Revenues from manufacturer support service contracts where the
manufacturer is responsible for fulfilling the service requirements of
the customer are recognized immediately at their contract date.
F-7
Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents include items almost as liquid as cash with maturity
periods of three months or less when purchased. The carrying amount of
cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value.
Trade Receivables
The Company provides an allowance for losses on trade receivables based
on a review of the current status of existing receivables and
management's evaluation of periodic aging of the accounts.
Other Receivables
Other receivables represent rebates, price protection receivables and
amounts due from vendors for purchase returns made in the ordinary
course of business.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company provides its services to a wide variety of commercial,
governmental and institutional customers. Financial instruments which
potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are
cash (and cash equivalents) and trade receivables. The Company performs
ongoing credit evaluations of its customers' financial condition and,
generally, does not require collateral from its customers. The Company
has not experienced significant credit losses. The Company maintains
deposit accounts with reputable financial institutions; at times, such
deposits may exceed Federal Depository Insurance Limits.
Marketable Securities
Marketable securities consist of investments in equity securities. The
Company classifies all of its investments in securities as
"available-for-sale". Available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair
value. Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of the related tax
effect, on available-for-sale securities are excluded from income and
reported as accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholders'
equity until realized.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or
market. Cost is based on standard costs generated principally by the
most recent purchase prices. The Company provides an inventory reserve
for obsolescence and deterioration based on management's review of
products and sales.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at original cost. Depreciation and
amortization for financial accounting purposes are computed using the
straight line method over the estimated lives of the respective assets.
Accelerated methods of depreciation are used for tax purposes. Property
and equipment along with their components are as follows:
F-8
Original Cost Estimated Life
------------- --------------
March 2002 March 2001 (Years)
---------- ---------- -------
Computer equipment $ 2,510,613 $ 2,303,162 3
Office equipment 143,432 143,432 5
Furniture and fixtures 292,355 244,294 5
Leasehold improvements 147,248 107,917 5
Vehicles 66,745 66,745 2
----------- -----------
Total Property and Equipment $ 3,160,393 $ 2,865,550
Less: accumulated depreciation
and amortization (2,456,453) (1,946,440)
----------- -----------
Net book value $ 703,940 $ 919,110
=========== ===========
Maintenance and repair costs are charged to expense as incurred. The
cost and accumulated depreciation relating to property and equipment
retired or otherwise disposed of are eliminated from the accounts and
any resulting gains or losses are credited or charged to income.
Valuation of Long Lived Assets
The Company evaluates its long lived assets as prescribed by Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 (SFAS No. 121) by measuring
the carrying amount of the assets against the estimated undiscounted
future cash flows associated with them. If such evaluations indicate
that the future undiscounted cash flows of certain long lived assets are
not sufficient to recover the carrying value of such assets, the assets
are adjusted to their fair values.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under an asset and liability approach
that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for
the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized
in the Company's financial statements or tax returns. In estimating
future tax consequences, the Company generally considers all expected
future events other than the enactment of changes in tax laws or rates.
A valuation allowance is recognized if, on weight of available evidence,
it is more likely than not that some portion or all the deferred tax
assets will not be realized.
Advertising Costs
Advertising and marketing costs are charged to expense as incurred.
Advertising and marketing expenses for the years ended March 31, 2002,
2001 and 2000 were $306,271, $617,265 and $426,605 respectively.
Stock-Based Compensation
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation," (SFAS No. 123) encourages, but does not
require companies to record compensation cost for stock-based employee
compensation plans at fair value. The Company has chosen to continue to
account for employer stock-based compensation utilizing the intrinsic
value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees".
F-9
Accordingly, compensation cost for stock options issued to employees is
measured as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the
Company stock at the date of grant over the amount an employee must pay
to acquire the stock. SFAS No. 123 requires companies that continue to
follow APB No. 25 to provide a pro forma disclosure of the impact of
applying the fair value method of SFAS No. 123. (See Note 10)
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing net earnings
(loss) by the weighted average shares outstanding during the reporting
period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share are computed similar to basic
earnings (loss) per share except that the weighted average shares
outstanding are increased to include additional shares from the assumed
exercise of stock options, if dilutive.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior years balances in
order to conform to current presentations.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") recently issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 141 ("SFAS 141"),
"Business Combinations", and Statement of Financial Accounting Standard
NO. 142 ("SFAS No. 142"), "Goodwill and Intangible Assets". SFAS No. 141
is effective for all business combinations completed after June 30,
2001. SFAS No. 142 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2001. However, certain provisions of SFAS 142 apply to
goodwill and other intangible assets acquired between July 1, 2001 and
the effective date of SFAS 142. Major provisions of these Statements are
as follows:
1) All business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 must use the
purchase method of accounting. The pooling of interest method of
accounting is prohibited except for transactions initiated before
July 1, 2001.
2) Intangible assets acquired in a business combination must be
recorded separately from goodwill if they arise from contractual or
other legal rights or are separable from the acquired entity and can
be sold, transferred, licensed, rented, or exchanged, either
individually or as part of a related contract, asset, or liability.
3) Goodwill, as well as intangible assets with indefinite lives,
acquired after June 30, 2001, will not be amortized. Effective with
the adoption of SFAS 142, all previously recognized goodwill and
intangible assets with indefinite lives will no longer be subject to
amortization.
4) Effective with the adoption of SFAS 142, goodwill and intangible
assets with indefinite lives will be tested for impairment annually
and whenever there is an impairment indicator.
5) All acquired goodwill must be assigned to reporting units for
purposes of impairment testing and segment reporting.
F-10
Goodwill, net of accumulated amortization, amounted to $371,777 at March
31, 2002 and is classified as other assets on the balance sheet. Goodwill
acquired before June 30, 2001 has previously been amortized at
approximately $19,000 annually.
The FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal
of Long-Lived Assets," in August 2001. SFAS No. 144, which addresses
financial accounting and reporting for the impairment of long-lived
assets and for long-lived assets to be disposed of, supercedes SFAS No.
121 and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001.
The Company has adopted SFAS No. 142 and SFAS No. 144 effective at April
1, 2002 and is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the new
accounting standards will have on its financial condition and results of
operations.
2. Acquisitions
At January 9, 2002, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets
of Devise Associates, Inc., an information technology consulting and
managed services organization located in New York City. The Company paid
an aggregate price of $355,051 in cash to be allocated under the purchase
method as follows:
Goodwill $200,000
Equipment 152,220
Prepaid Expenses 2,831
--------
Aggregate Purchase Price $355,051
========
At January 17, 2001, Emtec, Inc., a New Jersey corporation (the Company)
was acquired by American Geological Enterprises, Inc. (AGE) through an
exchange of stock at a ratio of .9753 shares of AGE stock for 1 share of
Company stock whereas AGE issued stock to the shareholders of the Company
in exchange for stock representing 100% of the outstanding shares of the
Company. Pursuant to the acquisition agreement, AGE changed its name to
Emtec, Inc. and a majority of the directors and officers of the former
AGE resigned in favor of the directors and officers of the Company. In
addition, Emtec, Inc. (formerly AGE) increased its authorized
capitalizaton from 2,500,000 to 25,000,000 shares of common stock.
Immediately after the transaction, the stock ownership of Emtec, Inc.
{formerly AGE} was as follows:
Shares Percent
------ -------
Former shareholders of the Company 5,329,501 75.3
Original shareholders of AGE 1,380,997 19.5
(including public owners)
Transaction brokers 370,000 5.2
--------- -----
Total 7,080,498 100.0
========= =====
Because the former shareholders of the Company acquired control of
Emtec, Inc.{formerly AGE}, the transaction is considered a "reverse
acquisition" by the Company for accounting purposes. The Company is
treated as the accounting acquirer of Emtec, Inc. {formerly AGE}, the
legal acquirer. For accounting purposes, the acquisition has been
treated as an acquisition of Emtec, Inc. (formerly AGE) by Emtec. Inc.,
a New Jersey Corporation (the Company) and as a recapitalization of the
Company. The historical financial statements of the Company are those of
Emtec, Inc., a New Jersey corporation.
F-11
The historical shareholders' equity of the Company prior to the reverse
acquisition has been retroactively restated for the equivalent number of
shares received in the transaction after giving effect to the difference
in par value between the issuer's and acquirer's stock. Net income (loss)
per share has also been restated to reflect the number of equivalent
shares received by the former shareholders of Emtec, Inc. a New Jersey
corporation.
3. Inventories
The components of inventories at March 31, are as follows:
2002 2001
---- ----
Hardware, software and
accessories $1,390,790 $1,265,569
Service parts 150,875 145,330
---------- ----------
1,541,665 1,410,899
Less inventory reserve 451,715 391,184
---------- ----------
$1,089,950 $1,019,715
========== ==========
Appropriate consideration has been given to deterioration, obsolescence
and other factors in evaluating net realizable value.
4. Financing Arrangements
On November 21, 2001, the Company terminated its prior credit facility
and entered into a three year, $10 million revolving credit facility with
Fleet Capital Corporation, formerly Summit Business Capital Corporation
("Fleet") whereas the Company may borrow on 85% of its eligible trade
receivables at a floating annual rate of .25% above prime. The interest
rate at March 31, 2002 and 2001 was 5.00% and 8.50%, respectively. The
Fleet revolving credit facility is collateralized by a lien upon and
security interest in substantially all of the Company assets. Since
current credit facilities with two of the Company's primary trade
vendors, (GE Access, and Ingram Micro.), were also collateralized by
substantially all Company assets, Fleet, GE Access and Ingram Micro, have
entered into inter-creditor agreements, which provide that as regards to
these vendors, debt obligations to Fleet are accorded priority. The
lending agreement contains financial covenants that require the Company
to maintain a maximum leverage ratio, a minimum debt ratio, a minimum
tangible net worth ratio and minimum results of operations. The Company
was in default of the financial covenants at March 31, 2002. The Company
has two letters of credit totaling $1 million assigned as security
deposits issued against their line of credit. At March 31, 2002, the
Company had $9 million available under the terms of the agreement.
Weighted average interest rates on the borrowings were 8.43%, 9.72% and
9.08% for the years ended March 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
5. Income Tax (Expense) Benefit
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of (a) temporary
differences between carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for
financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax
purposes, and (b) net operating loss carryforwards (when available).
Income tax (expense) benefit consisted of the following for the years
ended March 31:

At March 31, 2002 and 2001 the Company recorded a valuation allowance
against its deferred tax assets, reducing those assets to amounts which
are more likely than not to be realized. Federal and state net operating
loss carryforwards approximated $927,000 and $1,077,000 respectively at
March 31, 2002. Federal net operating loss carryforwrds expire in 2021;
state net operating loss carryforwards expire at various years through
2008.
6. Related Party Transactions
At March 31, 2002 and 2001 the Company owed $19,000 to a Company
officer's relative. Except for quarterly interest payments there was no
other loan activity during the two year period. Interest paid on the
loan was $2,280 for each of the three years ended March 31, 2002.
7. Major Customers
Two major customers approximated 23%, 17% and 34% of the Company's net
sales in the years 2002, 2001 and 2000 respectively. Major customer
sales by locations are as follows:
% Of Total Revenues Locations
------------------- ---------
14% Education - Atlanta, GA
9% Cranford, NJ
---
2002 23%
---- ===
10% Education - Atlanta, GA
7% Atlanta, GA
---
2001 17%
---- ===
17% Education - Atlanta, GA
17% Atlanta, GA
---
2000 34%
---- ===
While the Company believes its relationship with these customers will
continue, there can be no assurance that sales to these customers will
continue at all or at the same level.
8. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate fair value
of financial instruments at balance sheet date:
Short-term financial instruments (cash equivalents, receivables,
payables, customer deposit and accrued liabilities) - cost
approximates fair value because of the short maturity period.
Line of credit - cost approximates fair value because of the short
interest-reset period.
9. 401(k) Plan
The Company sponsors a 401(k) plan for all employees with at least 6
months of service and who are at least 20 years of age. Eligible
employees may contribute 2% to 15% of their annual compensation to the
plan. The Company matches 25% of the first 6% of employee plan
contributions and may contribute additional amounts at the Company's

10. Stock Option Plan
The Company's 1996 Stock Option Plan (the Plan) (amended in 1999)
authorizes the granting of stock options to directors and eligible
employees. The Company has reserved 1,000,000 shares of its common stock
for issuance under the Plan at prices not less than 100% of the fair
value of the Company's common stock on the date of grant (110% in the
case of shareholders owning more than 10% of the Company's common stock).
Options vest at the rate of 25% per year commencing on the first
anniversary of, and expire at the earliest of 5 years after the date of
grant, three months from date of retirement, or upon date of other
termination of employment. The Company used the minimum value option
pricing model as prescribed by SFAS No. 123 to determine the impact of
applying the fair value method required by SFAS No. 123 prior to going
public at January 17, 2001. The Black-Scholes option pricing model has
been used to determine the fair value of options granted during the year
ended March 31, 2002. Except for 30,000 options granted in November 2001,
all other stock options granted during the three years ended March 31,
2002 were determined to have a fair value of zero. The exercise price of
these options were set at $ 1 per share, an amount substantially in
excess of the fair value of the underlying stock at dates of grant. The
30,000 options granted at November 2001 with an exercise price of $.55
resulted in pro forma compensation cost, net of income taxes of $8,934
computed under Black-Scholes. Earnings per share amounts (rounded to the
nearest cent) on a SFAS 123 proforma basis equal the per share amounts
reported in the statement of operations for the year ended March 31,
2002. No options granted during the three year period have been exercised
as of March 31, 2002. Option activity is summarized as follows:
Options outstanding - April 1, 1999 570,874
For the year ended March 31, 2000:
Options granted 29,250

Litigation:
In a previous year Emtec Inc. instituted litigation against two companies
(defendants) that were in discussions with Emtec about a possible merger.
The complaint in the action charged the two companies for breach of
contract, interference with business relationships and misappropriation
of trade secrets. The parties settled the litigation in June 2000. Under
terms of the settlement, the Company received a $350,000 cash payment and
333,116 shares of the defendant's common stock. Costs related to the
litigation and realized losses on disposition of the common stock reduced
net income from the litigation settlement to $24,108.
In 1999 Emtec, Inc. instituted litigation against a company (defendant)
for breach of contract action in an amount approximating $50,000. The
defendant stated a counter claim in excess of $8 million for damages
resulting from Emtec's alleged negligence, causing the defendant's
computer system to become corrupted and unavailable. The parties reached
a settlement by agreeing that the Company would restore the defendant's
computer system. Restored disks were delivered to the defendant at March
26, 2002. Under the settlement, the defendant was required to file a
complaint within 45 days if dissatisfied with the restoration. No such
complaint was filed.
In March 2002, a lawsuit was filed against the Company by a competitor
seeking damages of an unspecified amount. The competitor is alleging
that the Company illegally interfered with customer relationships of the
competitor. At this time, the outcome of this litigation cannot be
determined. The lawsuit is currently in the discovery phase.
